Never a-gain

In whatever film roles he lands in the near future, George Clooney will be starring as his slim old self.

The "Ocean's Twelve" star, who packed on 30 pounds for his CIA thriller "Syriana," says he won't be making a habit of growing into his characters.

"It was good for that film, and I'm glad I did it, but I'd never do it again," he said, the London Mirror reports. "I'm still in the process of losing the last few pounds. It's hard to do, and it's hard on your system."
